ABSTRACT
Duoethnography creates a research context for its participants to expose and examine underlying patterns of enculturation and indoctrination in relation to societal norms. Norms operate as internalized rules that frame our behavior and ways of perceiving self and others. With its focus on self as site, not topic, of research, duoethnography promotes researchers’ access not only to their beliefs and values but also to the unfolding histories of those beliefs and values within societal and cultural contexts. It also presents both to researcher and reader, participants’ narratives of experience in relation to those beliefs and values.
